Cakrahradī (चक्रह्रदी) or Chakrahradī is the name of a locality identified with Chakadahī, seven miles south of Kārītalāi, as mentioned in the Kārītalāi stone inscription of Lakṣmanarāja II.—Accordingly, “[...] The king made eight Brahmanas, resembling (as many) Vasus, settle in this city (and) gave them a village named Dirghasakhika. The illustrious Lakṣmanarāja (II) gave the village ... to this god on (the occassion of) an eclipse of the sun. His great Queen Rāhadā, with her devotion and the king’s consent, gave this (god) the village Chakrahradi”.

These stone slabs (mentioning Cakrahradī) were discovered at Kārītalāi, a village in the Murwārā tahsil of the Jabalpur District in Madhya Pradesh. They mention three Kalachuri princes, Yuvarājadeva, Lakṣmanarāja and Śankaragana [Śaṅkaragaṇa?].
